Overview

Explore Vesuvius, the giant volcano above the Bay of Naples. Drive 3,000 feet up and hike 25 minutes along volcanic gravel to the summit, where you can peer into its 700-ft deep, 2,000-ft wide crater and enjoy views of the Sorrento Peninsula and Capri, Ischia, and Procida. Visit Pompeii, a stunning open-air archaeological site, preserved under ash for 2,000 years, and wander its streets to see life as it once was. Herculaneum, smaller but exquisitely preserved, offers intact patrician villas, mosaics, frescos, and even wood and ropes—miraculously surviving the 500°C volcanic flows that destroyed the city.

Vesuvius National Park
Explore Vesuvio, the giant volcano dominating the Bay of Naples. Drive up 3000 feet through the old crater and then make the final 25 minute hike up to the top, zigzagging along a path of volcanic gravel. Once at the summit, peer into the 700ft deep and 2000ft wide crater of the Vesuvius--both the destroyer and keeper of Pompeii and Herculaneum—and take in unparalleled views of the Peninsula of Sorrento and the islands Capri, Ischia, and Procida
